►Gender: Female
►Cat's name & why: Calvin
Ciel has always grown up with cats. They've forever been a part of her life. She's never seen them as pets, simply family members;
almost as though they're her brothers and sisters. Ciel was always an only child, so the cats were her companionship when her parents
couldn't spend time with her. Her parents tried to have children multiple other times, yet failed all but one other time. This second time, it was a baby boy.
7 months in, her mother had a miscarriage. With the room completely set up and a name all picked out, it was devastating. Ciel was 14 at the time.
For a while, things were difficult. Her parents were ghosts almost. Soon, though, life resumed. It went on. 6 years later, with Ciel in college,
her parents gave her a kitten, a gorgeous little orange tabby boy. She thought a while about a name, and eventually remembered the little boy
that never got to take his first breath, her baby brother. Ciel named her cat Calvin, after the name originally chosen for her sibling.
Some people may say that it is weird to name your cat after your brother, but Ciel doesn't see it that way. Since cats have been important
parts of her life, she sees it as a tribute. Her parents have seemed to agree, and been happy with her name choice.
It's her and her little Calvin against the world - as it should've been when she was 14.

Name: Ichabod
Gender: male
Cat's name & why: Ichabod decided to name his cat Crane. It goes well with his own name. Ichabod has been fascinated by fiction stories.

Ichabod Crane is a fictional character and the protagonist in Washington Irving's short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", first published in 1820.

Ichabod is a big fiction nerd and one of his most favorite books is "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". It was his 21st birthday and he went to the pound and did a sort of "blind date" with a cat. He called the pound and had them pick a random cat. He swore to himself that he would take whatever cat it was home no matter what they looked like. To his luck, he got a small kitten that was abandoned. Ichabod's birth date is the same day that "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was released. Hence why he finished his name with the cat. Crane.

Name: Alterre
Gender: male
Cat's name & why:
Marvin-- nicknamed "Polaroid" or "Po"

Alterre is a photographer, it's his life passion. He travels the world, taking photos and developing them with his vintage polaroid camera. He usually has a great charismatic aura, and is always in his own mind, thinking of faraway lands. His favourite thing to photograph is the stars, as he personally finds that the night is more colourful and alive than the day. There was one time, though, when Alterre had little to no inspiration. He had travelled back to his small house in the middle of nowhere, and could think of nowhere he could go to take photographs. Suddenly, he heard rustling outside. Getting up off his chair, he walked over to the window, to find a cat had jumped up on the sill. It had curled up and was peacefully dozing off, until Alterre approached, which was when it opened one eye. Later was used to stray wildcats wandering into the area, he always used to feed them and give them love but they'd always end up leaving after a week or so. So, as per norm, he fed him, took many pictures of him, and gave the cat love and attention. After about a month, the cat, now called Marvin, had not left. Alterre took such a liking to him that he decided to keep him, and nicknamed him "Polaroid", as Marvin would always pose for photos.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxusername: Froasxxxxxname: Atlasxxxxxgender: malexxxxxcat’s name and why: Libra

xxxxx"Many people that I know with the Libra zodiac have known to be rather gentle and caring personalities, sometimes to the point that others take advantage of their passiveness. This begins to describe why I named her Libra.

xxxxxIt was early one fall morning when I saw her, the golden pelt hung loosely on her bony structure as she rummaged through the scraps I threw out the night before. It tore my heart to see a beautiful creature barely clinging to life. It was evident that she had been mistreated by more than one person, the way she fearfully watched her surroundings as she wolfed down the small meal. After licking the last bits from her muzzle, she hurried off.

xxxxxEach morning after her appearance, I left whatever scraps I had from my meals outside in hopes that she’d return, and she did. It was nearly two weeks later, but her scrawny figure slinked back to where I had been dumping my food. I slowly began making my way out my door towards her when her green eyes locked on me, and she released a hiss from her maw. I stopped in my track, settling down in that same spot to watch her. She continued to glare at me, but lowered her head to continue eating her meal. She reminded me so much of myself in those moments, scared, fearful of the world and those in it. She wasn’t sure who she could trust and who would harm her.

xxxxxI continued to sit and watch her each time that she showed up for food, slowly inching my way closer to her each time, testing the invisible boundaries each time. Over the weeks she became accustomed to my presence, not entirely ignoring me, but accepting me. I slowly reached my hand and touched her golden pelt, feeling her flinch in response, yet she didn’t pull away. I was shocked. Shocked that even though there had been many in her life that had used her, that hurt her, that abandoned her, she allowed herself to forgive. That’s when I realized that she did not need me, but we needed each other to become whole again."

Name ;; Chestre
Gender ;; Male
Cat's name & why ;; His cat's name is Vegas. Chestre's parents took him to Las Vegas where he came out as gay to them. They reacted very negatively since they hate anything they consider to be extraordinary. This happened in June - June 26th to be exact when gay marriage was legalized all over the US. Needless to say, Chestre was overly happy, especially since his parents acted like homosexuality was never going to be considered normal. This evening, he also found a stray cat which followed him all the way back to the hotel. Chestre named him Vegas in memory of the happiest day in his life.

Name:
"Hey, you can just call me Chase Disney. How's it shaking?"

Gender:
"I'm a male."

Cat's name & why:
Grimm. His name is Grimm, or Grimm Evelina Chasity Disney. Why such a pitiful name, you ask? Well, now, if you put your mind to it, I'm sure you can answer this question for me. Who was Grandpappy's role model? His idol? Have you got it? I think so. The Brothers Grimm, of course! (Doesn't explain why I look like Jack Frost though, humph). His best movies were from their magical, wonderous stories. I used to have a dog, his name was Goofy. Don't have to explain that one, no? Old age took his life. So you can see why it turned obvious for me to name my cat Grimm Disney. Despite the names of my beloveds, I have spent my entire life trying to separate myself from my grandfather's success. I don't want to a reteller, I want to be an actual story teller, it is my dream profession, and Grimm is my inspiration. I love writing stories, and Grimm is really the only one who wants to hear them. Eh, sad but true. I love you Grimm Disney! Kisses!"

Name:
Landon

Gender:
Male

Cat's name & why:
[569/600]
Landon named his cat Robin. Because he is basically obsessed with comic books. Specifically ones about superheroes. He wishes to be a hero that everyone will love and praise, however this often drives others away because of his energetic, loud personality mixed with wanting to be a superhero. Seeing as none of his friends had the same passion, he settled on getting a pet to fill this role. Which is when he got Robin, though she was not his first choice, he did warm up to her quickly.

~

Landon was in a bad mood. Again his search for a sidekick had failed, "How am I gonna be a hero now? I don't need a sidekick...but still.." Landon muttered to himself. He arrived at his friends's house and sighed. His friend was in the process of moving and asked him if he would come because it was "urgent". He knocked on the door and waited. He glanced at his watch, 9:25.
The door swung open and there stood his friend.
"Ah, thank you for coming! Sorry for asking you to come so late!" His friend sheepishly said.
"It's alright, I didn't have anything else to do. So uh, what's so urgent?"
"Well, as you know, I own a shelter, but now that I'm moving, I had to get them all adopted quickly. Luckily they were all adopted but one. I can't keep her, so..could you?"
"What?" Landon was never fond of cats, not to mention he couldn't be a hero and take care of a cat at the same time!
"Please, Landon! I asked everyone I know!"
.....
"Alright...I'll take her." Landon gave in. After all they are my best friend, I can't let them down! What kind of hero would disappoint someone?
"Thank you so much!" His friend hugged him tightly. Landon grinned, as he returned the hug.

[time skip]

Landon clung to the cat as he walked home. He was deathly afraid of the dark and looked at his watch again. 10:55. He held her tightly in an attempt to comfort himself, but he reluctantly let go as she was clearly uncomfortable. He shivered as he felt like something was watching him, he looked around and began quickening his pace. Only a couple more blocks... he thought to himself.

Clang!

Landon stiffened and turned around. He couldn't see anything as his only light source was a flickering lamppost. The cat's fur puffed up and she began hissing. She leapt out of his arms and approached the noise. "No, come back!" Landon made an attempt to pick her up again as she was his only comfort at the moment but she only hissed at him. Suddenly she lunged into the darkness leaving Landon by himself. He shivered and flinched when he heard hissing and screeching. Out rolled the cat and a raccoon. The raccoon detached itself from her and scampered away.

Landon sighed in relief, it was only a raccoon. She walked back to Landon and leapt on his shoulder nestling herself on the crook of his neck. "Heh, you're pretty brave aren't you?" She only purred in response. Wait..brave.. "That's it!" Landon practically shouted, startling her. "You can be my sidekick! You're brave, you're loyal.. You're perfect for it! Let's see, what should I name you?" Landon thought, but one name stuck out, "Robin."
Landon smiled to himself, I finally found my sidekick

When Tass found him, he was drinking spoiled milk, and when Tass asked him about it, he said he wanted milk, but he couldn't find any around, only this spoiled milk someone gave him.
